His thigh-fives are often talk of the town.

Shikhar, being a Delhi boy, is as vivid a character as it gets. Be it the thigh-fives or his 'victory-gesture' celebration, and the best of the lot: the 'Gabbar' pose with the bat and the helmet in the hands, are the kind of celebrations that makes every kid on the streets follow his trends. But often these characteristics put Dhawan's dedication and seriousness towards the game in question.
